2026.3 — Latest updates
Released:
Published:
2026.3 makes trusted data easier for AI to consume, brings context, translation and AI assistance into the New UI, and extends syndication, onboarding and matching at scale.
What's new in 2026.3
2026.3 simplifies AI access to governed master data with self-service activation of the Consumer MCP Server, DaaS Easy-Setup, and an automatically generated Semantic Data Graph. In the New UI, product work gains richer context through structured references, multi-context attribute maintenance, a dedicated Translation tab, AI Prompt Creation, and a CoPilot chat interface. The update also extends PDX with deeper multi-language support, adds PIES 8.0 support for automotive data exchange, and improves Match & Merge throughput and unmerge behavior.
New features
- Consumer MCP Server self-service activation, DaaS Easy-Setup, and automatically generated Semantic Data Graph for AI-ready access to trusted data.

Released:
Published:
2024.3 brings generative AI for product descriptions, translation and image discovery into the New UI, reworks Faceted Search reindexing, and adds AI attribute mapping and Amazon pre-validation to PDX.
What's new in 2024.3
2024.3 introduces three generative AI capabilities in the New UI — product descriptions, assisted translation and image discovery — alongside a focus view for referenced objects and mass asset upload. Faceted Search reindexing is moved out of the Elasticsearch Event Processor so data changes are indexed incrementally and reindexing can be cancelled cleanly. PDX adds AI attribute mapping suggestions, Amazon pre-validation and improvements to templatized Enhanced Content generation.
New features
- AI generative product descriptions in the New UI, generated from prompts with a choice of AI endpoints, models and usage parameters.
- AI assisted translation in the New UI, producing fast, human-like translations into chosen languages without training the model.
- AI assisted image discovery, generating image descriptions and SEO keywords with text recognition and outlier detection.
Improvements
- Faceted Search reindexing moved out of the Elasticsearch Event Processor, so data changes are indexed incrementally during reindexing and reindexing can be cancelled without losing events or cleaning up event queues.
- New UI additions: a focus view for referenced objects with enhanced navigation, mass asset upload via Asset Global Import, and improved DTAP support when moving configurations between systems.
- AI attribute matching in PDX Syndication, offering automated mapping suggestions with confidence scores that users can override.
Technical updates

Published:
2024.2 introduces Kafka-based inbound message streaming, automates handling of assets held in external DAM systems, and extends AI and machine learning matching, the Instrument UI and PDX Enhanced Content.
What's new in 2024.2
2024.2 introduces the first iteration of a Kafka-based inbound message streaming component, consuming individual messages in real time rather than through background processes. Import configurations in the asset importer are optimized to handle assets stored in external DAM systems automatically, and configuration change packages can be impact-analysed before installation. Matching gains a new Person Name matcher version and more robust machine learning match recommendations, the Instrument UI adds data container reference handling and a product packaging experience, and PDX migrates to MongoDB while Enhanced Content gains review flags, filters and dynamic record top-off.
New features
- Inbound message streaming, a first-iteration Kafka-based component that consumes individual messages in real time instead of using background, file-based integration.
- Product Packaging Experience in the Instrument UI, showing where, what and how a product sits in the packaging hierarchy and allowing pallet set-up to be maintained.
- Dynamic record top-off in PDX Enhanced Content, letting users flag parts of a template as manually maintained where upstream data is missing.
Improvements
- Automated digital asset handling, with import configurations that create and update assets held in external DAM systems, link them to products by naming convention or metadata, and keep them current via REST APIs.
- Configuration management impact analysis, giving administrators an overview of all changes in a change package, an anticipated installation outcome per item and a list of items needing manual installation.
- A new version of the Person Name matcher plus improved robustness and scalability of machine learning match recommendations.
Technical updates
- PDX migrated to MongoDB to support continued scaling.
- Loqate connector updated to the latest Loqate cloud API, using its new AI address parser; existing Loqate Cloud API calls route through the new API automatically after updating.
- PDX user journey improvements: filtering by last updated date range, unlimited product export from channels to spreadsheets, search by any attribute in direct and onboarding channels, and conditions on complex-to-flat attribute mappings.
